ima Link Row Status

1.3.6.1.4.1.353.5.7.1.1.4.1.2

The imaLinkRowStatus object allows create, change, and delete operations on imaLinkTable entries. To create a new conceptual row (or instance) of the imaLinkTable, imaLinkRowStatus must be set to 'createAndWait' or 'createAndGo'. A successful set of the imaLinkGroupIndex object must be performed before the imaLinkRowStatus of a new conceptual row can be set to 'active'. To change (modify) the imaLinkGroupIndex in an imaLinkTable entry, the imaLinkRowStatus object must first be set to 'notInService'. Only then can this object in the conceptual row be modified. This is due to the fact that the imaLinkGroupIndex object provides the association between a physical IMA link and the IMA group to which it belongs, and setting the imaLinkGroupIndex object to a different value has the effect of changing the association between a physical IMA link and an IMA group. To place the link 'in group', the imaLinkRowStatus object is set to 'active'. While the row is not in 'active' state, both the Transmit and Receive IMA link state machines are in the 'Not In Group' state. To remove (delete) an imaLinkTable entry from this table, set this object to 'destroy'.
